When did Gilcrest/Jewett move from downtown Des Moines?

We moved into our new location in Waukee, Iowa in January 2000.

Gilcrest/Jewett’s home office had been located in downtown Des
Moines since 1856. Over the last decade, we have responded to the
market by increasing our product lines as well as adding a carpet
division, cabinet division, and window and door division. As a result
of this tremendous growth, we outgrew our downtown facility.

By moving to Waukee, we increased total space from 7 acres to 26 acres
and expanded our showroom to 12,500 square feet and storage space
to 160,000 square feet.

Are you locally owned?

We’ve been locally owned since our founding in 1856.
